[MOD] Jailbreaking Azkaban (reference post)

[prime-veridian.livejournal.com]

Hi guys, I'm done with my orals, back from Dragon*Con, and now it's time to kickstart the Jailbreaking Azkaban post!



Here's what's going down:
- First, please post up to your character arriving at the Burrow (with the exception of Alison, who will be there already and answering the door.)
- Then I will take over again, as Molly and Arthur Weasley, who are spearheading this operation, explain to us what we need to know of the plan:

Once the prisoners are broken out of Azkaban, they will be ushered in groups of ~10 to various portkey waystations, with the ultimate destination unknown to us. We, along with several of the other younger participants (like the Twins) will be responsible for guarding three portkeys, as part of the waystation jumps. We will not know where our portkeys are going or where the groups have come from previously. Unlike regular portkeys which are touch or time activated, a clever member of the Resistance has created a variant of the Portus spell which allows a portkey to be passphrase or spell activated. There will be 2 Order members sheparding the escapees.

Depending on whether heartswill is playing, we'll either have two groups or just one group of girls guarding the portkeys.

The girls don't get to know the details of the plan (only the Order members are privy to that!), but they do get to see every Order member who will be part of the raiding party:

Kingsley Shacklebolt
Minerva McGonagall
Dedalus Diggle
Remus Lupin
Charlie Weasley
Bill Weasley
Arthur Weasley
Fleur Delacour
plus
3 animagi (Pryde, Toynbee, McCoy)
4 Order red shirts (Tsukahara, Kerrigor, Svoboda, Reid) (totally making up names here...)

The waystations will be in out of the way places across Britain, such as abandoned warehouses, middle-of-nowhere moors, for sale muggle residences in quiet suburbs, and the like. Once all 3 groups have been through, we're to Apparate back to the Burrow, and report.

..and that's it! :D I think...

DISCUSS.

I can imagine that Ron's even more bitter about us when he finds out that both his twin brothers are going out with you and think you're pretty swell. :D He definitely doesn't like us, but at least he knows for sure which side we're on. ¬_¬

XD I have this feeling that Ron and I love to hate on each other... but in a somewhat good-natured way? Maybe? XD; I think he's thick, he thinks I'm insane, something like that~ But I suppose we'll get along as adults. And regardless, he definitely has to start getting the idea we're on the same side, yes.

[prime-veridian.livejournal.com]

I'm not so much sure if it's a good-natured type of hating on as Ron just stubbornly holding onto his grudge against us Slytherins. I'm sure he'll make exception for us eventually, though I can still picture him about to explode when he finds out in about 20-some-odd years that Alby's dating Scorp. :p

[beater-serpens.livejournal.com]

Well, there's definitely some of that. Ron is indeed pretty thick sometimes. But we will get along eventually, he's not too stupid to change! Hermione will help. Though yeah, I think he would definitely explode when he hears about Alby and Scorp. Poor Ron. XD Life is so hard.

I'm sure that eventually Ron will think you're not too bad, and you'll finally be able to get along at Weasley family gatherings over the holidays. I'm sure Hermione will be a big part of that. Or at least smacking him or something when he's out of line.

I'm kind of curious how Ron ends up finding out that Alby and Scorp are going out. Christmas dinner table? :D Rose mentioning it offhand? Ron and Harry hanging out? (And would it be too much to ask for you to write that scene? XD)

[beater-serpens.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I could see us getting along pretty well eventually~ Hermione can probably work wonders. XD

I... have no idea how he'd find out. Probably at some family gathering, though. Man, that would be pretty hilarious~ (XD If I can come up with a good way for him to find out, I could be persuaded to do that~ ;D)

(I like the idea that somebody drops it at the dinner table [Somebody asking Harry or Ginny how it was having the Malfoys over for dinner and then mentioning Alby and his boyfriend something like that?] by accident during the Christmas Giant Weasley Family Get-Together or something like that, and it turns out to be one of those "everybody's been keeping this secret from Ron" kind of deals and Ron gets extra pissed that not only is his nephew gay, he's camping it up with Draco Malfoy's son and nobody wanted to tell him.

Hilarity ensues? Or maybe just awkwardness and drama.)

[beater-serpens.livejournal.com]

(Oh God, yes. XD Everyone will have been keeping it from Ron, and it'll get out and... it'll be beautiful. Really. I will definitely try to write this, sometime. Of course, there are a helluva lot of characters involved, dear God. XD)

I am all for giant dinner table or sitting room conversations with Ron choking on his food. :D Not all of the characters really have to participate explicitly (they can just be mentioned as being around?), but that's what you get for having such a huge family! (The Malfoy family is pathetically small by comparison. D: Poor Scorp doesn't even have any cousins because both Ora and Draco are only children.)

When they get off the Hogwarts Express after their fifth year, Alby should totally drag Scorp around and introduce him to all his aunts and uncles. XD I would love to see (imagine?) the expression on Ron's face as Scorpius shakes his hand and introduces himself cordially. XD

Pushing Ron's buttons is just way too fun to pass up. :D

[beater-serpens.livejournal.com]

XD Yeah, huge families just make for more people you have to throw into the conversation.. but at least not everyone needs to be talking at once. Ahh, Weasleys. XD They're seriously going to repopulate the world someday.

Ahaha, that would be fantastic. XD I'm not sure who I'd feel sorrier for, Scorp or Ron!

But you do have a point there. It's just so fun to make fun of Ron~
